A Negative feedback occurs when the fed-back output signal has a relative phase of 180° with respect to the input signal (upside down). This situation is sometimes referred to as being ''out of phase'', but that term also is used to indicate other phase separations, as in "90° out of phase". Negative feedback can be used to correct output errors or to desensitize a system to unwanted fluctuations.<ref name=Bhattacharya> | A Negative feedback occurs when the fed-back output signal has a relative phase of 180° with respect to the input signal (upside down).
